3.0 is being forked off for tablets. 2.4 will still be gingerbread, but with support for dual core apps ported to phone interfaces. 2.5 (ice cream sandwich) will be the next new release for phone OS. The x8s hardware is good enough to be updated for a while. It is a good move on goggles part to seperate developments.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
Is possible to add extra feature for audio? I mean play sound from mp3, 3gp, mp4... from front and back speaker in one time?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
uploaded 006

happy play
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Thanks j
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Thanks, will try right now.

First thing that should work but doesn't is sensor rotation for keyboard and I guess this means no accelerometer games will work, also proximity won't work. Will update this post with the bugs...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
So according to this,fm radio and tethering are not working in v006?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
That is correct.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zen1k:
Please help with bluetooth.

CM7.0 RC2 v006

baseband 15

dalvick cache wiped

bt switched on

PC and X8 set to discoverable mode

Results of search:

x8 found 0 devices

PC found 4 devices (x8 excepted)

How to connect x8 to PC via BT?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
so proximity and accelerometer doesn't work?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
reelasing fix in 5 min
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
reuploaded fixed 6a version

sorry my mistake
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Thanks j, for such a fast reply... also brightnes manual setting doesn't work but it's a small issue so doesn't matter that much to me. Will flash your fix for this awsome rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
"camera - limited to vga" - green screen
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Set it to vga and it will work, by default is set to 3MP.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
my mistake :D sorry :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
Mistakes happen, thanks for a fast fix though. :) I have flashed my phone three times today. v005 -> v006 ->back to v004 and now to v006a. :)

Im using your rom on a daily basis and have done it since v003.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zen1k:
Bluetooth not discoverable

Same thing in 006a.

X8 is not discoverable and can not discover other devices.

(devices are in discovery mode)

Please help...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
006a : this is a LOVELY rom!

Looks very good so far, no stuck processes, seems smooth to me.

Attached is a small patch to reduce cpu speed to 122mhz (instead of 245)

Push this file to /system/etc/ and reboot, does not change anything else.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
"videocamera - set quality to low(30m)" - no working (white screen)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
@djtimon89: Read the first post, it only says VGA photo working not video.

@racht: Isn't 122 MHz abit too slow? I know i tried it once on stock SE rom and was laggy when resuming my phone from stand-by.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] owain94:
no check the CPU speed was set to 245 - 600 now 122 - 600 it save some battery when you screen is off is 122 better
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
so?

games 3D - no working
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
So wait for a fix from j, I really can't understand what will you use a low resolution/low quality video record feature for. If it would be VGA@30 fps like the stock rom has, then yeah it's good but 320x240 is a big MEH from me. So far brightness manual set/bluetooth/ and video recording seems to be missing, but anyway it's a great rom and will be the main one on my X8 from now on.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
Let me get this right. So light sensors and proximity are not working. No big deal. And 3D is not either. Right? I'm going to download and try the rom just to get a feel of it but I think I will still be sticking to Racht's 2.2.1 for the moment. Wonderful work by the way.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
You got it wrong, proximity and accelerometer were not working on 006 but j uploaded 006a which fixed those problems. The only thing that dont work, from the list on the first page are manual set for brightness (it's at 100% all time), Bluetooth - reported one page back and video recording. Ofcourse there are some apps that won't work like Skype but overall this is one stable and really good rom. 3D is working perfect.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zousoum96:
So music and proximity is working? So the only bug of this Rom is tethering and FM radio?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sexan:
Sorry to ask stupid questions,I know its work in progress,but did anyone managed to open skype?It crashes when logging in,I managed to install it to work one time but I don't know what I did that time.Awesome ROM btw!! Thank you
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mrlistersir:
Am I being stupid here, Installed V .6a and there is no Market app.... How would I get this installed? or find it?

Sorry if this is a pointless question....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] owain94:
look into the file you downloaded there is a zip called gapps flash that
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rolandh:
There is a separate gapps.zip that has got the Market vending.apx in it. I't's in the .rar file along with the Live walpaper.zip and update.zip

Roland
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mrlistersir:
ah! Thanks,

I have installed the market app but it just whitescreens and then doesn't load any more. am I missing something? or should this work? do I have to do anything else not just install the app
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mrlistersir:
I stopped being a numpty and installed the zip from within xRecovery sorry folks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Proximity sensor is still not working. GPS is working.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
How to install this one? Should I place CM7_RC1_X8_006a.rar on the sd card...or?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Volfield16:
Proximity still doesn't work for me in 006a
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] killmyself:
is 3d working fine? in fact does most of 3d games work?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rolandh:
Open CM7_X8_006a.rare and place update.zip xmfrom the war onto your SD card and flash using xrecovery.

Roland
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] adi2343sh:
006a - Very smooth, stable, Battery consumption a bit higher but still efficient, Killing TB doesn't give reboot or safe to remove SD card

Bugs: GPS - Stable and less erratic than 005 but doesnt work few times.

Compass - Stable in GMaps but too slow in compass app. In 005 it was highly unstable along with a shift of 90 degrees.

Proximity Sensor - Not working

Rom good enough for daily use. Great work J , Thanks for all the hard work.

Time is not far it seems when I will dump SE sh** from backup!:D

Edit : Bluetooth not working
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
To battery :

Have used my phone a lot especially data and music. My battery is on less than 15% in ~16hours disconnected from charger . I think it's nearly perfect

So thanks J for great work ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Great work j. The rom is very fast. Again there is a problem with Titanium Backup. Phone restarts after stopping it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Volfield16:
Little request: can you make fix for proximity sensor?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
Awesome!

1. Does Bluetooth work? And light sensor?

2. Can you install Honeycomb theme and honeycomb music player? wasn't possible on 005.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
sorry about proximity

i screwed an ">" in one source

i will reupload tomorrow 6b

any other problems?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Volfield16:
Thanks for quick answer Jerpelea. Bluetooth doesn't see any other phones at scanning
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
What's with the Titanium Backup crash? Also bluetooth is not fully working. I can find devices,but they can't find me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] adi2343sh:
I have tried killing Titanium with ATK. No reboot or any other issue. Working fine for me.

Bluetooth sure is not working.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage App's. Find there Titanium Backup and touch on it. Then press Stop to stop the process,and you'll see.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Also 3D is not working. I can't play SpeedX 3D.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
No problem with 3D here. Works even better than in v004.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
I've got some Gmail problems with 006a, it's not included in the custom zip.?

Tried to install from my backup, but whenever i wanna open, i get force closes.?

Can you tell me, what the problem is, please?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
Same here. Wait for 006b. The dev might fix it. I think Cyanogen is licensed to use google services.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] adi2343sh:
Sorry I had tested only on free "Titanium Backup". Works fine with that. But with Titanium Backup Pro and Root Explorer, killing them gives "sd card safe to remove" reboot.

3D working fine here too.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
Get it from market.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] splitvox:
Gps not working...data didnt either but two minutes ago i tried again and it worked...

Excellent work!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
Has anyone managed to install Honeycomb theme and honeycomb music player on 006? It wasn't possible on 005.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] killmyself:
3d dont fully work. some 3d games works some not. bt as you know is broken, just as FC at closing root exp, and I also had some random resets.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
I tried to download Google Mail App from Market at X8, i can't find it.

Then I tried Market on PC, found it, but

when I want to install it says, it's not available for my provider?!

But it's possible to push other Apps from PC Market to Phone to X8.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vsg2000:
Noob

Yesterday I flashed for the first time my X8 with this ROM but sound (resolved in 006), BT, Proximity sensor and other things don't work fine.

Can you tell me what's the best and stable custom you tried?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] LFSPovo:
Great work! Finally moving from MiniCM to this, since WiFi is fixed!!! :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] esirad:
plz if possible upload rom and baseband seperatly . many people now dnt need flasher becuz they have it , and i have low internet traffic and about 40 mb lost in any download ur rom. tnx for ur best rom. sorry for bad eng.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
I also found out that sensors are really screwed up, played Doodle Jump/Abduction and jumps all over the place, eventhough it works with the keyboard as it should.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
hey,

This rom is very good, but need some help.

Skype crash, cannot log in ? (maybe skype is not compatible gingerbread ?)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rolandh:
Apart from the VGA only camera and no FM Radio and the proximity sensor problem this ROM is stable as hell, I've ditched floyo v0.15 for now (still keeping it as a backup just in case I need to flash a different ROM for any reason), the video problem is no big deal for me as I've got video Cam Illusion installed and I don't do alot of video recording anyway. Keep up the good work J and it wont be long before we've got a fully functioning Gingerbread ROM on our X8's.

Roland
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
If Ext partition exists - it always unmount sd-card.

Why ?

Other at least give us access to fat partition -- it this no ext + no fat.

Sad.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
I not want all google apps. I want only Market. What files from gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip are requied to work Market?

edit:

For sure files Vending.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk are needed to work Market.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
I'm not able to solve the Gmail FC problem.

Can anyone upload his Gmail app, please.

Can you put it already in next version 006b?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rstdnm:
I was just wondering what apps are included in here, what does it look like. Is it easy to customize?

I've been using racht's modded version of J005 but this seems to be a step ahead so I'm updating in a few days (so that Jerpelea could release the proximity sensor and other bug fixes)

How different is this from racht's work? And does video recording in minimum settings really work??

Keep up the amazing work, guys. You're almost there.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
Major problem. I can listen to.music but everytime I open up another application like messaging or the XDA app music stops for no.apparent reason and the music app closes. Same behaviour with the default music, Poweramp, or meridian.Any Idea's? I have v006a with Racht's modded sh file.

Edit：When I click on flashlight on the Power control widget the system gives me a force close saying com.Android.system has encountered a error blah blah.

Edit 2: The wifi wpa-psk will disconnect after 1-2 minutes.(My bad. Forgot to change the sleep policy.:p) Solved. After 2 reboot's everything works again.

Other than that the Rom is almost perfect. Although I liked racht's much better because of the launcher that comes with it and music doesn't pose a problem. Great work anyways. By the way if anyone wants to know the Launcher that comes with the Racht's Rom it's called Launcherpro. The system thing is called SystemPanelLite.

Edit3: Gmail will not download. Solved. Use Market enabler downloaded from the Market to fake phone into Verizon. Go into Market. Download.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
I just install update.zip (v006). Autorotate and compass not work me. Why?

And game NFS Shift not work. Only show splash and then auto-exit. That same on v005.

To fix:

- performance

- camera

- Radio FM

- bluetooth

- games 3D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
Solved it too, by the same way.

Gmail works fine now. Great.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
You need to buy nfs.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Something is wrong with coulors, if you go to Settings->CMSettings->Preformance Settings and turn off Surface dithering it looks wrong on the splash screen off the XDA-App.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
nfs work me in v004.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kayashi:
Skype doesnt work on v006 for me, :( thats too bad, neither in v005 i wanna cry!!! hahaha really this is a good rom, but without skype i cant use it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
I don't think its meant for daily use :)

There's drivers and libraries he's not done with yet.

It is however very promising.

Every day when I'm done working I restore and use it. And then make backup and return to stock the next morning. This way i've got all the fun and know my phone won't reboot while talking to a client.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Alihosny:
just flashed 006 amazing work j keep going.

Edit: when i install the gapps zip it doesn't install anything except the setup wizard. why?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] malungkot:
downloading now.. try it later..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Disastery:
Can smth be done about speed? Everything is perfect J. but it really annoys me. The 2.3.2 versions from racht are very fast, but have much more problems. Can u improve this or fix somehow?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vsg2000:
006b

Jerpelea 2 days ago talk about 006b. Any news about the new release? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kecil26:
be patience guys :D i'm also waiting for stable & fully working one..J are working hard for that..weeeeeeeee :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] killmyself:
vsg2000 wait a little bro. dont you want better rom but few days later? or worse on time? ;) give J time to work. If he says he do- he will but just wait ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
I think J is fascinated abount the Kernel of x10 ^^ let him play a while
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] killmyself:
someone broke bootloader on x10?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vsg2000:
Wow guys... sorry for my impatience!!!! :p:p;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
not cracked but bypassed
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] killmyself:
great! maybe J is serving us a little suprise and we will have custom kernel on x8? :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
No, they bypassed it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
That needs more than 2 week minumum. The x10 custom kernel isn't ready for use yet. there is still no GSM and I think the way how to boot isn't stable enough
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
How to install Market on v006?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
install google apps from zip file with xrecovery
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
Waiting for 006b !! Impatient too !! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
I'm pretty sure next update will be 007, so I think you'll have to wait a little longer. Anyway jerpelea is doing a fabolous job and in a few months we'll have a decent 2.3.x rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
Sur !! J is doing a excellent job !!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kayashi:
Yeap. you're right, when v005 was upload I use it for 2 days, but i had to restore to 2.1 because skype (and the many reboots :P),now 2.3.3 cyanogen has a nice UI, many things to modify and its cool to personalize.

v006 is more stable, but i have to use skype almost everyday, since i have this android phone is really cool use skype from it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oubsty:
Guys I need some help here I just downloaded the Rom file but its a far file..... what do I need to do? Convert it to zip file and change the name to update zip plz help
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
You need to install winrar

http://www.rarlabs.com

Then, you can open the .rar archive. Inside, you will have the updates.zip, juste place it on your sdcard, then reboot the phone into xRecovery, and install updates.zip

There is two other .zip inside, Wallpaperxxx.zip and GoogleApps zip (for Gmail, Market etc...)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oubsty:
Ok thanks a lot
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
hey, camera is working on v006a with "Camera illusion" apps from market !!

it's just a problem with the original camera apps ? not a driver ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
Did you can make pictures with resolution 3Mpix?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
hmmm, there is no option on "Camera illusion" to kown that !

But file extension is .mov and i copied video into my PC, than i have 320x240.

Yes ... it's very low resolution but it's working ... on 006a, i have a white screen on camera apps ...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
Camera illusion is for making photos, Videocam illusion is for making videos.

Videocam illusion work because use own library files for encoding (480x320 mov).

MP4 format is better than format mov. MP4 it is universal format, support for more video players and support for video records, more fps... LgCamera recording video with format mp4 but without sound.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
Or you could use 7-zip : http://www.7-zip.org/

7-Zip is open source software. Most of the source code is under the GNU LGPL license. The unRAR code is under a mixed license: GNU LGPL + unRAR restrictions. Check license information here: 7-Zip license.

Bug Report

There's mainly two bugs in v006. The first one being that no background applications will run. I don't know if anyone else has this but the thing that really bugs me is that I can't listen to music and surf the web at the same time. The music app,(I tried three, same results)will restart and then the music will be stopped. I tried browsers, putting them in the background would not work either. They would reboot. So I think this is a problem with the ROM. The second one is random reboots while surfing the web, no freezes, nothing, the screen goes off and the system goes off. Only sometimes though. In all, I use it daily and I don't think I will be reverting back to Floyo. A small request. Is it possible that Jerplea upload the file onto a different website? I have to use a proxy to get on to multiupload. Also, if and when updating from v006 to v007, will data be wiped as it was when I updated from Floyo to v006?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oubsty:
Do you have any problems with Bluetooth?????? Mine don't work at all it can't ditect any devices and it also cannot be found.. do u have any solution??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
+1 :) of course

I can listen music with surfing into the web. MSN Talk is working in background. And 006 is stable !! Some bug, but it's very stable for me.

Di you try a Wipe after update ??

Waiting for 006b or 007 update :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oubsty:
What do I have to wipe to make Bluetooth work??? Do I have to go in xrecovery and if soon what do I wipe there????
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
Before changing rom, i allways backup sms, and apk.

Install the new updates.zip. Wipe with xrecovery.

Than reinstall all my APK file (in my sdcard backup), restaure sms and wifi.

Then synchro gmail / contact. And lost any thing (just game score lol).

Without wipe, i have some bug sometimes ...

Bluethoot .... wait 006b / 007 update :) it's a rom bug !

For video camera, you can install video illision from the market (only slow resolution)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oubsty:
Ok ur saying in the original rom use the back up and restore then flash update zip.. If that's the case I did that already and I wiped cache system and so on through xrecovery but Bluetooth still don't work I might have try again and see what happens thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oubsty:
Oooooo ok I understand. Thanks for ur help really greatful cause for a moment there I thought I did something wrong
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Looks like 007 is gonna be big... a special number :D The name's Bread, GingerBread... :D :D

Seriously though, why do we use 160 as screen density and not 192? searched the forum and couldn't find any ref except set 120 for the mini. :o
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
Set 192 as screen density and reebot your phone. Then for example check how look your widgets.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sanjay.rup:
LoooooL, hope skype will work, and good fixe. BUT, we know that J is working hard :) so we will be patient :P
